I'm a first year full time teacher. I feel I do a great job and am also the head volleyball coach. I'm terrified that since I am not tenured they will let me go. I mean I know they can't fire me for being pregnant, but can come up with other reasons why. This would be the worst time to lose my job. I will have officially been there a year in August and am due September 20th so they have to offer me paid maternity leave. I'm just so scared!

Well I am very serious about my job!! I think I'm so afraid because one of my friends was

Pregnant and went to a job interview in the same school system. She told

Them she needed a maternity leave and they told her they had found someone else. I mean I'm still planning on coaching out the season, just taking a week off for rest but taking a maternity leave from teaching. If that doesn't show dedication I don't know what else I can do!
